Bristol City manager Liam Manning is taking a break from his duties at Ashton Gate following the tragic passing of his newborn son, Theo John Manning. The club expressed their deep sadness and asked for privacy for the Manning family during this difficult time. Liam will be absent from the team, and assistant coach Chris Hogg will oversee football operations in his absence.
The team will continue without Liam Manning as they play against Middlesbrough and Stoke City in the upcoming matches. Despite sitting at 16th place in the EFL Championship, Bristol City has been performing well with a ten-game unbeaten streak at home.
The news of Theo’s passing has brought an outpouring of support from the football community, with fans and clubs extending their condolences to Liam, his wife Fran, and their son Isaac. The loss of a child is a heartbreaking experience, and it is important to show empathy and respect for the family during this challenging time.
It is a reminder that behind the scenes of the football world, there are personal struggles and tragedies that can deeply impact individuals. While we cheer for our favorite teams on the field, it is essential to remember the human side of the game and offer support and understanding when needed.
As the Bristol City community comes together to support Liam Manning and his family, we are reminded of the resilience and strength that can be found in times of adversity. Our thoughts are with the Manning family as they navigate this difficult journey, and we hope that they find comfort and solace in the love and support surrounding them.
